Core dropping WTF

[Renni 95]

Hello i got a new 470 gpu today and corsair tx650 and its been solid all day i oc'd it abit, just ran a bench mark and was getting low 4000's (odd,furmark btw)
so i reset my pc as soon as it booted up the only programs i opened was afterburner (opens automatically) and furmark, ran a bench and woop got high 6000's then i opened digsby and watched my core and shader drop (core to 405) so i closed down digsby reset my afterburner and im back to 609 core opened itunes, the same thing dropped to 405 and it goes on i can keep reseting it but if i do anything on my pc it drops back to 405 core.

any help?!

Looks like its a msi afterburner problem, closed it down and ran a test and its fine il re install afterburner tommorow

Looks like you have two profiles saved! Check in the settings to see what they are.

When you have profiles saved MSI Afterburner will usually run a second profile manager program in the background... plays around with stuff depending on the program you open!

I would open settings in Afterburner, delete both the profiles, set the OC you want and hopefully it should stay the same no matter what program you open/close!

use the lock button too, 1 profile with ur settings save it and lock it.

personally i also go into the settings and change the update to 60000(max) and remove all hardware polling for temps etc it can free up some speed but not much.

It's just powerplay, the Dardanelles will clock itself to lower speeds when not doing anything demanding. perfectly normal. Only thing is make sire when you run something like a game or furmark that the clocks go up to the normal 3d speeds such as 607.

Nope when i run a 3d application it doesnt clock itself back to what ive set it too

So it just stays at 405mhz all the time? as mentioned running basic Windows programs like Itunes it will stay at 405mhz and only clock up to 600mhz for gaming.

what is digbsy?

When i boot up the pc it is at 609 and will stay there for aslong as i want but as soon as i boot up ANYTHING (inc games) it drops to 405, it is a afterburner problem because if i close afterburner it stays at 609 whatever i do im just installing it again now

Nope still does it, any other overclocking/fan control programs?

 

[Renni 95]

Ok i think ive fixed it now, it does go to normal speeds when a 3d app is open (now)

Scrap that... nope its definatly not when im getting under 30fps in crysis arghh

Try uninstalling afterburner and deleting the configs? it shouldn't stay at 600mhz after booting the PC that's not normal your powerplay seems to be backwards for some reason, it should behave the opposite to what yours is.

Ive un installed and deleted the configs and re isntalled and its doing the same thing, evga percision seems to working ( it does drop to 405 when idling but when in game it does seem to be going upto 750 core, which is good but i cant tell because the osd doesnt work in crysis arghh
